Sponsor:	Novartis
Information provided by:	Novartis
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00049829

Purpose

HORIZON-PFT (Pivotal Fracture Trial) will study the effect of zoledronic acid, given once per year, on the treatment of osteoporosis in women past menopause. Hip and vertebral fractures are the most devastating consequences of osteoporosis. HORIZON-PFT is designed to determine the benefits of zoledronic acid in fracture reduction at both the hip and spine.
